United Nations:
India will take a seat on the UN Security Council as a
non-permanent member after a gap of nearly two decades, winning
the Asian seat Tuesday with 187 of the 191 votes in the United
Nations General Assembly poll.
With Kazakhstan withdrawing from the race in January, India became
the sole candidate from the Asian region and its election to the
non-permanent seat had become a near certainty.
India last held a non-permanent seat in the UN Security Council in
1992.
South Africa and Colombia also won the African and Latin American
seats for a two-year term on the powerful decision making body
starting Jan 1, 2011.
